Production
Jacqueline Bisset was cast on the basis of her short appearance in Two for the Road. By the time The Sweet Ride was released she had been cast in The Detective and Bullitt.
Tom Mankiewicz, who wrote the screenplay, later said the problem with the film was "it tried to touch all the bases at once: drama, comedy, porn, dropouts, surfing, true love, a touch a perversion, and the general malaise of 1960s young people. Frankie Avalon and Annette it definitely wasn't."
Mankiewicz also says producer Joe Pasternak had suffered a stroke shortly before filming which impacted his effectiveness.
